Waste Not

Today is Food Waste Friday at Frugal Girl. I've really been encouraged not to let food go to waste since I've become part of her community. This week I had a banana that was threatening to get too brown and spotty (I like them at the just-yellow stage) and I ate it for a snack before it could languish on the counter. Rice is another thing that tends to sit in our fridge for too long, but yesterday I added it to a salad, so no food waste for this week!

On the waste not front, here's a skirt I made for little girls, entirely out of scraps. It's all cashmere, so it's super soft, and I love the way it's swingy. I love being able to use all of a sweater when I'm making things! (if you'd like to see more like it, you can visit my Etsy shop).

  2. Thanks! It looks like it will be really fun to wear. (Wish it would fit me, but I don't make scraps that big!)
